The many aspects of "non-profit"
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm often asked various questions about non-profits. Many people have a
| general idea of what "non-profit" means but very few have a specific,
| technical understanding. This makes perfect sense. The technical
| understanding is a legal and accounting mix, and specific to legal
| jurisdiction as well.

It wasn't long ago that Firefox was seen by the BSA as 'evil'/illegal because
there is no such thing as licence holders. In the UK, BECTA has a policies
where government cannot procure products (software), but only companies. What
a lunacy. It's being discussed a lot at the moment.
